3500 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and that's why for the first time, all 14 provincial unions will take the field wearing pink socks in round nine of the Bunnings Warehouse NPC in support of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ (BCFNZ).
The ‘pink sock’ initiative will see teams raise awareness in the lead up to and at matches across the weekend, kicking off with Hawke’s Bay hosting Tasman at McLean Park in Napier on Friday 30 September.
Teams playing at home will wear pink socks, while away teams will be in white socks with a pink ribbon graphic around the top. Home teams will further support BCFNZ on game day through awareness messaging and fundraising activations at stadium.
Your donation will make a huge difference for the women of New Zealand – together, we can reach zero deaths from breast cancer.
